Carl Sandburg College • 309.344.2518 | 17 See the World THROUGH SANDBURG BY JAMES HUTCHINGS, Study Abroad Coordinator
Sandburg can help you go far in more ways than one.
Our study abroad opportunities can help you explore new cultures while getting a once-in-a-lifetime look at history. These faculty-led trips are available to students as well as members of the community. Studying abroad is a great way to expand your appreciation and knowledge or other cultures, and it helps students develop greater independence and communication skills.
This past spring, we studied the Holocaust and spent our Spring Break in Germany, the Czech Republic and Poland, which included a visit to the concentration camp at Auschwitz. Coming up this spring, we’ll head to Beijing, China, for 10 days to immerse ourselves in Eastern culture. We also offer study abroad options to England, Ireland, Austria, Spain, France, India and Costa Rica.
Not sure you can afford to study abroad? Pell Grant recipients can apply for scholarship opportunities worth up to $5,000, and some students may even be able to apply their financial aid toward taking part in this incredible experience.
If you’re interested in study abroad opportunities at Sandburg, contact me at 309.341.5317 or [email protected].
